Inhabited by the same family since 1341, Urtubie Castle, located in the town of Urrugne, three kilometres from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, is listed as a Historic Monument.
Built in the 14th century, then enlarged in the 16th and 18th centuries, this elegant Basque Country house has an elegantly furnished and decorated interior: antique furniture and tapestries from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries are some of the features you can admire on a guided tour. Other attractions in the grounds include the 17th-century chapel, 18th-century orangery and a lovely English-style park of six hectares. A visit to the tearoom will round off your tour of the estate nicely.
